I completed my PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Sheffield in 2007 and continued research there in a post doctoral capacity, becoming a lecturer in 2009. My main research interests lie in thermochemical and electrochemical cycles for hydrogen production and carbon dioxide utilisation. Recent projects include the European HycycleS project, looking at key components for the Sulphur Iodine and Hybrid Sulphur cycles, and the KNOO (Keeping the Nuclear Option Open) project, investigating nuclear hydrogen production. I am now concentrating on electrochemical cycles for carbon dioxide utilisation whilst continuing research on high and low temperature membrane separations. Originally from Teesside in the UK, I studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Cambridge for four years. After obtaining a first class MEng I spent a year in Sweden before embarking on my PhD.
